fow of Hie female portion of the crowd
expressed a desire to see what man-
EDWARD DIDDLE,
ner of a mnn Ed Riddle was, that he
should exert such a wonderful influ
ence over men and particularly wo
men. The verdict of the jury is that Ed
Riddle came to his death by a revolver
shot from a 32-caliLre revolver fired
by himself and that Jack Diddle met
his death from a gunshot wound In
flicted by the officers in discharge of
their lawful duty.
The evidence secured by the au

the Riddles Intended to kill themselves
rather than be taken alive and that
Ed succeeded In his attempt while
Jack failed, though his life was for.

men except Detective McGov-orn who
Is not here.
At fi o'clock last evening tho bodies
of the Diddles were removed from the
Jail to one of the hallways of the
sheriff's dwelling and the public was
given an opportunity of looking at the
two nortorlous criminals.

every one was given an opportunity to
gratify his morbid curiosity.
At the coroner's inquest Deputy
Hoon in describing the fight with the
Diddles paid:
"We put our two teams in charge ol
J. A. Snyder. We then got in line and
they came down the hill and the first
thing I saw Ed Riddle pulled a revol
ver. When lie pulled the gun all be
gan to short. I could not toll who
fired the first shot. We all shot. I
should Judge we wore 150 foot from
"!iem.
"They both fell out of the sled.
"McGovern and I walked up to them.
They were both lying on their faces.
I walked up first and McGovorn
swore at me for It. I had a revolver
In my hand and had It loaded. I
walked tin to them and he walked up
and hit Jack on the back of tho head
with tho bdt end of his Winchester
when ho was on his face. Then I
turned Ed over on his back. 1 was
the first to touch either of tho men and
he was going to shoot them again. Ho
stepped bark and shot Jack again aft
er ho was on tho ground. I turned
Ed over, nnd ho said: "For God's saka
don't shoot again let mo die."

with saws, with which they had cut
the bars In their cells. The prisoners
occupied adjoining cells on the second
range and bad assistance from tho
outside, as both were armed with re
volvers. Shortly before 4 o'clock one of the
Riddles called to James McGeary, who
had charge of the outside gates, and
asked for some cramp medicine in a
hurry, t-aying his brother was dangcr
t iiHly sick.
McGeary hastened to tho cell with
the medicine, when John Diddle
sprang through the oponing In tho
cell and. seizing the guard around tho
waist, hurled him over the railing to
the stone floor beneath, a distance of
16 feet.
Edward Riddle joined his brother
immediately and both, with drawn re
vclvers, hurried to the first floor,
where they met Guard Reynolds and
shot him.
Thero were but throe men on duty,
and Ih third was on i no of the upper
rauc?. lie was ordered down at the
point of the revolvers ,and the three
guards were put In tho dungeon.
Tho keys wore taken from Keeper
Mi Geary and tho two desperate pris
oners had a rWr field.. The only per
sons who witnessed the escape wore
prisoners who could not interfere or
give an alarm.
The Riddles wont to the wardrobe,
where the puards keep their clothing,
ard ach put on a new suit. They
then unlocked the outside gate3 and
passed cut Into Ihu street.
The escape was not discovered until
the daylight guards came on duty at
6 o'clock. They wore Informed by
prisoners where the night guards had
been put, and they were soon released
from the dungeon and sent to the
hospital.
The esrrpo of tho Riddles was sub
soipiently explained by Warden Peter
K. Si ffel. The warden asserts that
his wife Is responsible for tho furnish
ing of the revolvers and saws to tha
riddles which enabled them to es
cape. ARRESTED FOR MURDER.
